Parker High School is a small-town school, with small class sizes where you develop excellent connections with fellow students and teachers.

Overall, I enjoyed attending Parker High School. I had a good experience and I had many opportunities available to me— opportunities that probably wouldn't be available to me in a larger school.

I found the grading system to be pretty unforgiving where a 94% can land you a B and a 80% can land yourself a F. This tend to led to students to pushing themselves to greater lengths, but at the cost of an increase in stress and anxiety.
